  • Tour Details
1. Experience skiing at Appi Kogen, one of the largest ski resorts in northeastern Japan. With the mountain summit sitting at over 1,300 meters above sea level, the snow here is known as "aspirin snow" - incredibly dry and powdery, almost like fine powder.
2. There are 21 courses with a total skiing distance of 45.1 km, designed with a rich variety that can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to advanced skiers.
3. Revel in the excellent location as the hotel has direct access to the ski slopes!
4. Relish a soothing soak in the hotel's hot spring bath and open-air bath. After a chilly skiing, have a relaxing bath in hot springs.
5. The hotel breakfast venue offers dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, including local special eggs and rice, fresh vegetables, and dairy products delivered directly from the farm. *Ingredients are subject to change depending on the season and weather conditions.
6. A shuttle bus service is available from Appi-Kogen Station, making for an easy transfer.
